“I would agree with that because otherwise I do not think the American people will trust the commission. If the commission were to be appointed by, say, the majority leader of the Senate--certain Members--and then the Democratic leader of the Senate, that is another example.

The American people are very wise. So I am really glad the President, as you said, has come around to say we need to take a look at this. But I think the way he is approaching this does not pass the smell test for a lot of my folks back home.”
